Welcome back to another episode of The Game Plan podcast!

We got a special one today as Mike Thurston joins us in Dubai to unwrap his eclectic past, from his university antics in Newcastle to becoming a successful entrepreneur, YouTuber and fitness model.

In this episode, we delve into the ethics of product promotion, founding Aurora Athletics, the shift from training to content creation, and the nuances of building a successful YouTube channel. We also discuss the importance of consistent training, good nutrition and the impact of alcohol on your social life, health and productivity.
